Can Pixar deliver again, or is Cars 2 the firm’s first genuine disappointment?
I know you love toy sales, and those movies werent exactly selling tons of dolls.
So, to make it up for you, heresCars 2.
Its likeCars, but with even MORE toy potential!
Thats a fair amount of story to fit in.
But, cutting to the chase,Cars 2is a big let-down.
It looks cool, but thats about all its got going for it.
All of Pixars movies look great, but this one lacks any sort of heart or soul.
Our standards, perhaps unfairly, are higher than that.
Way higher, in fact.
Though its a bit weak by Pixar standards, its still a great film.
Cars 2is significantly weaker.
Thats right, gun play!
Still, as kids movies go?
There are a whole lot worse.
The G rating isnt appropriate for this film, if only because so many cars die.
)Cars 2also has some incredibly preachy moments which are aimed squarely at adults.
When viewed objectively,Cars 2is… fine, I guess.
But when you compare it to recent Dreamworks offerings, or Pixars other movies, its a disappointment.
It just doesnt really have an audience it is aiming squarely for.
This is one car in dire need of an overhaul.
